A search involving multiple agencies will resume at first light for a scuba diver reported missing in waters off Mission Beach.
Around 2.45pm this afternoon, police received information that a 54-year-old man had been part of a group conducting a recreational dive at a popular ship wreck site, but failed to resurface. He was last seen around 1pm.
A marine search conducted by water police and the Coastguard, and an aerial search conducted by a number of aircraft failed to locate the man.
The search was suspended a short time ago due to failing light, but is expected to amplify tomorrow morning.
There is no further information available at this time.
